Toil Lion

Overview


Our team was tasked with designing and developing Toil Lion, a comprehensive project management app tailored for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This React Native application integrates complex business hierarchies, project management, task allocation, team collaboration, and financial tracking into a single, user-friendly platform.


Challenge


Toil Lion presented unique design and development challenges:


  • Creating an intuitive interface for managing multi-level business hierarchies


  • Designing a flexible system that caters to diverse MSME needs while maintaining simplicity

  • Developing a robust offline functionality for areas with poor connectivity

  • Implementing a secure, role-based access control system

  • Integrating financial management seamlessly with project tracking

  • Ensuring cross-platform consistency and performance



Solution


We addressed these challenges with a combination of thoughtful UX design and advanced development techniques:


  • Hierarchical Dashboard: We designed an expandable, tree-like structure for businesses, projects, and tasks, allowing users to navigate complex hierarchies intuitively.

  • Modular Interface: We created a customizable dashboard where users can add, remove, and rearrange modules based on their specific MSME needs.

  • Offline-First Architecture: We implemented Firebase offline persistence, designing the UI to provide a seamless experience regardless of connection status.

  • Dynamic Role Management: We developed a flexible authentication system using Firebase, with a user-friendly interface for role assignment and modification.

  • Integrated Financial Tracker: We designed and developed a financial module that provides real-time insights into project finances, seamlessly integrated with the project management flow.

  • Cross-Platform Optimization: We utilized React Native's capabilities to ensure a consistent, high-performance experience across iOS and Android.

Design and Development Process


For Toil Lion, we employed a comprehensive approach:


  • We conducted in-depth interviews with MSME owners to understand their unique project management challenges


  • We created interactive prototypes to test the hierarchical navigation system with potential users

  • We developed a custom Firestore schema to efficiently handle complex data relationships

  • We implemented a modular React Native architecture, focusing on component reusability

  • We conducted extensive cross-device testing to ensure performance and consistency

  • We iteratively refined the UI based on user feedback, particularly focusing on the financial module's usability
